Hi everyone.. Hopes you all are doing great. Well.. A friend of mine told me that I am a bit introvert. Yes, that is true that I am not too outgoing, dont mix up too much with people, dont have many friends. Is it bad or something? Should we be extrovert, does it pay to be more social? Please let me have your views. Thank you

they told me im an introvert. not that i don't like to mingle with people. it is said the introverts just want to have an intimate setting. they can be very talkative yet have only few trusted loyal friends. and that's me! im not outgoing but i would love to go out. i dont think its bad! i just like to be with the people close to me!

Hi friends.. I am neither an introvert type person, nor an extrovert type. You can call me a mixture of them. There is not a big problem to mingle with people around me to me, but often I don't like to do that. I prefer my friend circle to mingle with and don't want to talk to anybody or really not interested in making anyone a friend. Am a bit choosy here. But while I make friendship to one, he or she never call me introvert again.

It's not a matter of bad or good, I think it's you and what you want. I've got two 'personalities' (not split ). Due to the nature of my work, I've got to project a social, assertive and sometimes aggressive image. I've got to network, socialise, talk. However after work, during weekends and holidays, I revert to my true self - introvert. I enjoy my own company, have lonely interests like reading, watching TV and movies, go online - but these are things I enjoy very much! So dear friend, we have to adapt ourselves, to make a living!

introvert people are always regarded as flawed men by society, i call it a cultural misunderstanding,introvert,extrovert, they are just like male and female,more than like bad person and good person,or honest person and fraudulent person they are actually like two sides of a coin,there's no definite upside.they just do what they are good at and aslo,everybody has totally mixedup character,thats why this world turns out amazing.the introvert often goes with some other flairs,such as smart,sensitive,percipient so be yourself,that big one.

I have been pretty much an extrovert during my life. I think that it is good to socialize. It just makes me feel better sometimes when I talk to somebody that I have something in common with. There are all sorts of people out there. I just accept people the way they are. I do try to bring some shy people out of their shells and let them feel accepted.

heyy...hi. everyone....i would call myself an introvert as i dont like talking too much neither am i the kind of guy who just lights the atmosphere in a party or social gatherings....i make less friends compared to others but then as i speak less when i am around with people who are not my friends so i have been tagged an introvert .....so basically being an introvert is not bad for me coz i am not friends with anyone who just want to be entertained all the time....there are both advantages and disadvantages of being like this.....the advantage is that my friends have accepted the fact that i m like this so they will generally organise things keeping me in mind...but the disadvantage being that when people are going for an outing or meet new people they tend to not invite , when sumtimes ( though rarely ) i want to be with them....but thats how it is and i dont think i can change myself...neither should i coz i have realised that being an introvert there is nothing wrong with , introverts just want to0 be alone majority of the times and thats why they are confused with arrogant or shy persons while they are neither arrogant nor shy......
